Ecosystem/Watershed Management Services
Human beings benefit from a healthy and viable ecosystem. An ecosystem’s value comes from its naturally occurring processes, such as flood mitigation, improving water quality, a source of raw materials, or as a site for recreation. WESTON helps to return degraded ecosystems to productivity and to sustainably manage or improve the economic value of healthy ecosystems.

The proactive management of natural resources mitigates risks and creates new business opportunities and markets. WESTON offers an integrated set of services to help you enhance, restore or maintain the economic value of watersheds and ecosystems.
Complex Restoration Services
WESTON specializes in “bundling” restoration with other services across the land-water interface, such as remediation, stormwater management, and/or horizontal construction. Integrating these services provides several benefits:
- Goals and objectives are centrally understood, not fragmented among contractors
- Costs are reduced because activities can be integrated, maximizing efficiency
- Cleanup and restoration are quicker compared to traditional approaches
Mitigation Banking
Sometimes there are unavoidable impacts to wetlands, streams, or other natural resources. Mitigation compensates for these impacts by restoring, enhancing, establishing or preserving another similar resource.
WESTON can help ports, transportation agencies, developers, and others who impact the ecosystem by identifying mitigation opportunities. We also help maximize the economic value of natural assets by obtaining mitigation bank credits that can be sold to others.
Water and Other Natural Resource Management
Natural resources are assets, and how they are handled should be a component of any organization’s long-term plan. WESTON helps clients maximize the value of those assets by considering compliance issues along with possibilities for economic gain, including nutrient trading, carbon sequestration, and the owner-side of mitigation banking. We can help with:
- Natural Resource Assessments and Management Plans
- Watershed Management Plans
- Low Impact Development (LID)
- Ecosystem Services Valuation and Management
